Can OnePlus Actually Beat The Flagships? (OnePlus Buds Pro 3)

[@josue85]

The call by a busy street sounded fantastic, pretty impressive.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

I agree

[@SamuelMartin-q5f]

Bose had an update, and the connection issues are basically solved for me with the QC Ultra Earbuds. Love to see how the One Plus stack up against the Bose - my favorites.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Bose is usually pretty good about updates. I was happy to see some of the QC Ultra fixes they pushed

[@Alternate4444]

The update did fix it mostly. They need to fix the random restart of the earbuds when you play audio of any kind. Update: It's just my Motorola phone, Motorola needs to fix their software and especially Bluetooth when it is literally unusable! Every five seconds and in any condition, glitches after glitch after glitch. Motorola needs to fix their phones that have "Bluetooth".

[@SamuelMartin-q5f]

​@@Alternate4444they don't have that issue for me, strange

[@Chuchin619]

Imo bose have shitty sound quality, it's too muddy

[@piotrtal]

Weak Transparency mode discouraged me from buying them. Is it worse than galaxy buds 2 pro? Thank you very much for reviewing. Greetings from Poland.

[@dayab0lical]

something I've noticed reviews haven't mentioned at all would be the additional $20 removed from the price of these buds when ordered through the OnePlus Store app. i was able to do it on my z flip 6 and only spent $129.99.

[@larrymtz83]

That's what i paid for mine 😀

[@Classified1]

Same I paid 130 and all you need is a student discount which is easily accessible

[@reesegoebel979]

Just ordered mine for 95 with black Friday deal along with the app discount

[@kindofanmol]

I love the case design but the obnoxious "ONEPLUS" branding is so on-the-nose. Wish it had a minimal 1+ logo instead.

[@semafreak]

I agree

[@TH1RT3EN.13]

Out of interest when you said "not perfect but impressive for the price" about the sound quality - what are you comparing them to? I've tested Sony XM1000wf5, newest sennheiser momentum, and Bose quetcomfort ultra - and pro 3s definitely have more resolution (at least with LHDC) and more clarity and separation than all of those. I do agree they are bass heavy but overall they've got a really nice tuning where highs and mids don't actually get overpowered by lows, besides if you set the bass wave to -2 or -3 they can actually sound quite bright. Lows are also very dynamic and don't sound muddy at all. I've seen people say Airpods Pro 2 sound better but I've got both and I'm sorry but those people are delusional given the Airpods don't even support high Res audio per se. The only other wireless earbuds I've tried that have similar or better resolution are astel & kern UW100 and hifiman svanar but those don't have anything good about them apart from the sound and their massive cases make them unusable in daily commute at least for me. Overall these are absolutely the best wireless earbuds if you want great sound, portability, and ANC imo.

[@theendofthebeginningoftheend]

Bought these today and was blown away. Coming from user of a Sony Linkbuds S TWS and Westone UM3x wired, the oneplus buds pro 3 brought my music alive across all levels of lows mids and highs. At a decent price too! You get great value from these as compared to the other big brands. Only downside imo is that they are not foam eartip (Sony and SednaEarfit) friendly as the case do not close with the thicker foam tips on them. I used the original Sony Linkbuds S extra small silicon tips on them and they are able to close, but not for any size greater than SS.

[@jakubz07]

@@theendofthebeginningoftheend ​​⁠ It's good to see a satisfied OnePlus Buds Pro 3 user who switched from Sony headphones. My Linkbuds S are no longer suitable for use after 2years (78 hours of play time). The battery level in the right earbud drops very quickly and Sony is not doing anything to solve that issue. I'm considering the presented headphones and AirPods Pro 2. I only found out about OnePlus yesterday but I see that they have great reviews. Did you have a comparison to AirPods Pro 2? I will be using the headphones with an iPhone

[@firmbiz94]

Maybe I'm a simple man..but I like great sounding earbuds....but also the ability to get loud for the times Im working out etc.. I have had all sorts of buds.. I still have the Liberty 3 pros which were highly touted. I have the XM5 over ears also.. while both are nice the One plus pro 2s were exponentially better for me..especially with the volume, form factor, fit etc. I just ordered the pro 3s since my pro 2s just had one earbud suddenly playing at extremely low volume. Is they are an improved version of the 2s I'm excited to have them.

[@smug3791]

@@theendofthebeginningoftheend Hey, I am currently using the Linkbuds S and looking to upgrade to the OP Buds Pro 3. What are the more noticeable "upgrades" have you noticed compared with the Linkbuds? Is noise cancelling better or worse?

[@DreamingPhenom]

Thank you for the clear and concise write up! Sound opinion. Getting these after wrestling against deciding between these, Elite 10 Gen 2 and CQ Ultra.

[@skyrim2972]

Oneplus are doing great work very excited to see their new phone And great video as always 👍

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@Shahamood-y9t]

8:35 Just bought them recently. Transparency mode for me sounds really good. There is a tiny bit of amplification. I can hear my voice clear and it doesn't sound like I'm talking with my plugs in my ear. Sounds very natural. Maybe they fixed it with a firmware update

[@troyredway6427]

Theyre priced at the basic cheap airpods, but compete with the pros. Automatically the best product IMO

[@JocTillery]

More bass than nothing 2024?

[@saiiiii8683]

Sorry if i’m wrong but i saw some other reviewers mentioning these having wireless charging but you have to charge it from the front of the case apparently.

[@tommanseau6277]

Like a few others have mentioned, with coupon and introduction pricing, you night be able to get them for $129. For that price, they're a no brainer. The noise cancellation is at least as good as my Sony to XM4's, less ear canal fatigue, and really nice sound quality. I have a Pixel 7 Pro, and bluntly, pairing anything over BT is sometimes is a real hassle. These were the easiest to pair I've ever had. The biggest downside is mediocre documentation and app that want initially intuitive to use. But by comparison to the Sony app, I'll take the Hey Melody app every time.

[@BuildsWithV]

Just purchased these yesterday and with their $60 off plus an additional 20% off using the OnePlus store app I paid $103. Very happy 😅

[@tonymcnamara5127]

In your opinion are these better than soundcore liberty 4 pro ???

[@gideonMorrison]

Ehhhh they better fckin should

[@jeffp.6349]

Ever find out?

[@petermurage8685]

They have more bass than the L4 while the L4 soundstage is wider. Its hard to choose one over the other. I went with the Pro3 due to bass

The flattened snap means you won’t mistake it for a golfball. 😂

[@mikeevans7381]

I've never seen a reviewer worry about the R and L markings getting dirty. That's some OCD stuff right there. Outside of that it's a really good episode. Thank you much appreciated. 💯👍🇺🇸

[@talrulez]

Nah, man, can you imagine your ear dung getting into the R and L? Because I can! Unhygienic 😅

[@siddharthattri8227]

Well those R and L marking are cut into the frame bcz, they have a play pause sensor behind them. Which i think he doesn't know. That's why he said it'll get dirty. But in reality it doesn't as I'm using my oppo pro buds from almost a year and I don't see any dust or debris in those engraving.

[@peterklapko3182]

Pls tell me which are better option for over all sound , transparency mode and anc ? These or sennheiser momentum 4 tws ? 🤔

[@5ose98]

How's the apex experience going ?

[@carrygun_]

As the owner of the Nothing Ear 2024 who bought them 2 days ago, I gotta say that they sound great (after using EQ). Top level of sound (comparing to AZ80 and XM5).

[@elogueil]

Impressed with the depth of the reviews you make, yet stays simple. I had my 1+ bud pro 2 for almost a year now and it is amazing .. I actually got rid of my Sennheiser MW3 and no longer use it. I can image this with all measures won't be less impressive specially with the volume control which I miss in the bud pro2

[@Feinix33]

How is the transparency

[@kidskull51]

I got buds pro 2 worth upgrade?

[@SteveJones-fo7js]

Is it worth upgrading over OnePlus buds 3 over to this?

[@38Flyer]

A bit OCD: these are great. They also do charge wirelessly. Turn case upside down.

[@mlwz1082]

for ANC and Mic quality for calls, how do you compare these to the Galaxy buds 3 pro.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Good question. These mics seem to block more ambient sounds but the Galaxy Buds sound more natural. For ANC, I think these appear to be more powerful at first, but the Galaxy Buds are a bit cleaner with one exception. That exception is at low volumes. If you are in a quiet room, the GB3 Pro have some static sounds that bother me if I am not playing music

[@rolins3279]

​@@MikeOBrienMediaOn the other hand, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are not in the list you displayed, and so according to you, in view of your previous comment, the ranking in terms of ANC, is, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, OnePlus Buds 3 Pro and in 3rd position Airpod Pro 2 🤔

[@MarcyR15]

Is the 6mm tweeter a dynamic driver or planar magnetic driver??

[@markusknight]

Is there any reason for iPhone users to get these buds over AirPods Pro?

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

How does it compare to jabra elite 85t? Don't know if it'll be an upgrade or not, and don't care about the price (samsung doesn't have the dual device connectivity so it's out of consideration)

nice backswing (golf). nice video (like always!)). one question, on paper it shows that it supports Apple Hi Res Lossless music (bitrate and stuff). I have a Samsung Fold 5. Will it support Apple Hi Res Lossless with my Fold?

[@Forioous]

It's best TWS for OnePlus 12?

[@ndrio]

I got them for 90 euros during Black Friday. I'm not not an expert by any means but I had several more expensive and less expensive buds. Although a fan of OP, I have to say but I'm slightly dissapointed from th 3 pros. Sound quality and stage is good but the comfort, and the sound isolation passive and active really sucks. I don't know why people scoring them so high in those areas.

[@johnmicheal246]

The google buds pro 2 aren't even out but, I Highly doubt they will be better than the one plus buds pro 3 and the galaxy buds 3 pro. I currently got a pixel 8 for a really good deal and sucks that the Samsung seamless codec isin't on the pixel 8 which is lame asf lol but, I still think they will be the best. Also the oneplus buds 3 right now are 40-50$ canadian off so around 220$ while the google buds pro 2 aren't even on sale and are for preorder for 299$(without any reviews). I would say though wait for reviewers to review the google buds pro 2 first before making a decision.

Hello 👋🏽 Oppo Enco X2, Oops 🤭 it's supposed to be the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 More seriously, it's not a bad product, but in my opinion a bit expensive given the current market and especially what it brings (very little) to the OnePlus catalog, when the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 exist and especially when the OnePlus Buds 3 exist and are quite easily found at $70-$80 🤷🏽‍♂️ On the other hand, they are a better deal than the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro which have all their good features locked in a closesytem 🤧 I was mostly expecting to see 3-point multipoint like on the Tecnics AZ80. I wonder why no other manufacturer has adopted the 3-prong multipoint, please, can you inquire and give us explanations about this? 🙏🏽 Ps: in some markets the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are offered with the purchase of Buds Pro 3, there, it becomes a pretty good deal.
